Development teams remain productive, as developers work in the development environment of choice.

This creates more efficiency and allows developers to focus on writing code rather than performing administrative tasks necessary to manage and control successful development projects.
| The Challenge |
The Solution |
| Fast-paced development requires rapid deployment of change management infrastructure. |
PVCS Professional can be deployed and rolled out quickly, delivering a rapid return on investment. Tight integrations into the developer's IDE results in a low learning curve. |
| Lack of control over development resources means managers do not know what developers are working on, who approved a change, or why certain changes were made in the first place. |
Tight linkage between the issue/defect tracking solution, version control and build management facilities deliver control and visibility over development teams. |
| Managers have limited visibility into project status, reliance on periodic reports. |
PVCS Professional delivers visibility and traceability on individual projects and across the entire team. |
| Compliance documentation is labor-intensive, lengthy and expensive. |
Compliance data is automatically captured and easily documented. |
